I added "All installed applications" tab, but after I install another application, it doesn't show up in the list. The same goes for uninstalling, the program icon stays in the list. I have to delete the "All installed applications" and add it again for the list to get updated. It only happens for "All installed applications", but everything is fine for applications sorted in categories ("Installed Applications") Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a new tab and put "All installed applications" in it 2. Install a new application Actual Results: The application is not shown in the list Expected Results: It should have showed the application in the application launcher list Installed from source on Debian testing (Wheezy)
I had a discussion earlier with the lead developer of Homerun, as I was concerned that some of my behavior wasn't necessarily a bug but the fact that I installed the 12.10 deb's onto a 12.04 system. I wanted Homerun, yet I wanted to be on the LTS - hence why I tried that. They instructed me what I was experiencing was indeed a bug and linked me here. Something about 12.04 and the fact I used 12.10 debs made me think I should look further into this. I installed Kubuntu 12.10 64 bit onto a different laptop. Upon logging in, I installed the PPA, apt-get update, apt-get install homerun, apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade, reboot. 12.04: 3.2.0-38-generic 12.10: 3.5.0-25-generic On the 12.10 system, I am not exhibiting any of these issues. I installed a total of 12 applications with a reboot in between the 1st and 2nd half. With each application I installed, I immediately launched Homerun following the completed installation of whichever application I was targeting. I would simply type the name of the application slowly. Most of the time, the first time I typed the application name, nothing came up. I would simply erase what I typed and typed the name again and in most cases krunner caught up with me, presenting me with the application accordingly. The overall time lapse between launching Homerun, typing the program name, and having Homerun successfully bring me the appropriate program was on average about 15-20 seconds. So in summary, Kubuntu 12.04 64 bit with 12.10's .deb's installed (the 4 from the PPA page) yields the exact behavior listed above. Kubuntu 12.10 64 bit with the PPA on a fully updated system does not yield this issue. The applications I used were as follows: audacity meld clementine firefox terminator vlc *restart* midori thunderbird gimp inkscape gscan2pdf digikam The above 12 applications were installed via apt-get install programname. To make sure, I installed EasyTag and DeVeDe via Muon Software Center. Both of these applications acted identically to the above 12. The first 15-20 seconds were non responsive for the new application, while after that they came up just fine as I typed into the search with homerun launched. Is it possible this bug was inadvertently fixed? Or perhaps the PPA offered something the deb's I downloaded manually didn't?
While I had a successful run on the above 12.10 installation, I tried the same on my 12.10 64 bit desktop at home with no such luck. Newly installed applications are still problematic, even on the PPA with update/upgrade/dist-upgrade/whatever ran prior, rebooting, and firing it up again. Odd that one 12.10 system works flawlessly while the other exhibits this same bug. Same kernel between both 12.10 systems and everything. Despite this, if I add the newly installed applications to my favorites, then it's search-able. If I remove it from favorites, it's no longer search-able... unless I restart or run killall homerunviewer. Anyway, just wanted to calm the positive vibe I might have sent out with the above info.
